I've seen people almost hit themselves with a ball with their driver at the range.
Imagine what they would do with an 80 degree.
I wouldn't want to stand behind them, that's all I know.

I think that in practice when you reach around 70 degrees of loft the amount of spin diminishes.

Yep. The face is so flat that it doesn't really have enough impact to "grab" the ball. The ball just slides off from it, goes straight up and straight back down. A completely useless club unless you are performing in golf exhibitions.

The flop may be the best shot I have.

Besides, the Dr. Knockdown is

Ha - I tried to rate it a 1 and it simply will not let you rate it that low. Shenanigans!!!!!!!

Of course a guy could put 5 of these in his bag and shoot the most impressive 9 on any hole he choses.

If you took a full enough swing with this wedge could you hit yourself in the face? I might buy one or get a wedge bent to 80 just too have some fun.

Haha, according to the same website, Jack Hamm hits his 8 iron 260+ yards, and regularly hits over 400 yards with his driver. I can understand why he'd need an 80* wedge

i like to call him Jack the scam hamm.
